MaggZ is an award-winning choreographer, director and performance artist of Chinese-minority / Tibetan descent. MaggZ is trained in ballet and now specialised in w_acking - a freestyle dance originated in 1970s LA from the Latinx and African American queer community, predominantly involving arm movements. Rooted at the intersection of movement, site-specific installation and community-building: MaggZ’s practice is sovereign, pure and devoted.
MaggZ founded (nexus) in 2024, a creative movement experience - to cultivate infrastructures to support a culture of innovation, experimentalism and discovery across the creative community. MaggZ is appointed as Young Artistic Directorate at Next Wave from 2023 ~ 2025 (Melbourne, Australia), Producer in Residence at Next Wave in 2022 (Melbourne, Australia), and producer / performance art consultant at Collide24 in 2022 (Berlin, Germany). MaggZ is also the recipient of the Young Creative Awards in 2020, nominated four times by the Green Room Awards.
MaggZ’s career spans global platforms across Australia, Asia, Europe and the Americas as a choreographer, creative director and performer. I've worked with major festivals, institutions including: 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, ACCA, Asia TOPA, Australia Fashion Week, Critical Path, Dancehouse, Immigration Museum, Melbourne Fashion Week, National Youth Council Singapore, Next Wave, Performance Space, Phoenix Central Park, Rising Festival, Soft Centre Festival, Soho House Berlin, Sydney Opera House and Pocoapoco Oaxaca. Alongside performance, MaggZ is an accomplished battle dancer in street dance, with multiple international allstyle titles, and I am regularly invited to judge and teach.
